The BMW Service and Warranty Information book for 2009 has a table for all emissions parts warranted past the 3 year 50,000 "all inclusive" warranty for states like California which mandates emissions coverage. The coverage varies greatly across models for the extended coverage (7 year 70,000 miles or 8 yr, 100,00 miles). For instance, the 328xi front and rear( pre and post catalytic converter) O2 sensors are both covered. For the 550i and 650i neither are covered. For the 528i, only the front O2 sensor is covered. The California Air Resources Board told me the law's intent is to require the manufacturers to warranty parts that have a high replacement cost for a longer period. Some dealerships would have you believe nothing is covered past 3 years or 50,000 miles.
Problems with the oxygen sensors are quite likely to cause emissions test problems. The car computer cannot properly adjust the air/fuel mixture to regulate the emissions.
The oxygen sensors control the amount fuel in the engine and if it is making too many emissions the oxygen sensors will cut back on the fuel or if they are worn out they will increase the amount of fuel. The catalytic converter will eventually get plugged up if the Oxygen sensors are bad. The oxygen sensors control the converter.
Most 4.0L engines with federal emissions have two oxygen sensors located on the exhaust pipe before the muffler. One sensor is mounted before the catalyst (upstream) and one is mounted after the catalyst (downstream). Most 4.0L engines with California emissions have four oxygen sensors. These are mounted in the exhaust manifold area. Two are upstream and two are downstream. There is an emissions label under the hood of the vehicle that identifies the emissions type.
Ford began equipping its pickups with oxygen sensors in the late 1980s, as part of the shift towards more advanced emissions control systems. The addition of oxygen sensors was aimed at improving fuel efficiency and reducing harmful emissions in compliance with tightening environmental regulations. By the early 1990s, most Ford trucks featured these sensors as standard equipment.
There are 3 oxygen sensors on this vehicle. Some of the Highlanders with California emissions have 2 fron Air/Fuel Ratio sensors and one rear Oxygen sensor.
Ca has 4 oxygen sensors,other 49 states have 2
It will have two or four depending on the emissions package.
Oxygen sensors on a 1989 Toyota SR5 and located near the catalytic converter. The sensors read the emissions from the vehicle so the ECU knows ho much fuel to run in the engine.
The 2001 Buick LeSabre is equipped with two oxygen sensors: one located before the catalytic converter (upstream) and one after it (downstream). These sensors help monitor the vehicle's exhaust emissions and fuel efficiency. If you're experiencing issues with the oxygen sensors, it's advisable to have them checked for proper functioning.
Answerif you are referring to lambda emissions sensors then these are usually in the exhaust pipe, usually in the catalyst, if you are referring to oxygen volume sensors then these are often in the inlet manifold, but this is dependant on the vehicle.supply some more into and id be glad to help.Adamski(adam.francis@snowsgroup.co.uk)its the heated oxygen sensor bank2 sensor1
The 2003 Lincoln Aviator is equipped with a total of four oxygen sensors. There are two upstream (pre-catalytic converter) and two downstream (post-catalytic converter) sensors. These sensors monitor the exhaust gases to help optimize fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
The 2007 Honda Fit is equipped with two oxygen sensors: one upstream (pre-catalytic converter) and one downstream (post-catalytic converter). These sensors are crucial for monitoring the exhaust gases and helping to optimize engine performance and emissions. If either sensor fails, it can lead to poor fuel efficiency and increased emissions.
